Summary of Issues
Environment Canada is seeking the views of parties regarding potentially extending the exemption for leaded gasoline used in competition vehicles. Specifically, Environment Canada is seeing comments on the following questions:
- Should the present exemption for leaded gasoline used in competition vehicles be extended, and if it were to be extended, how long should it be for?
- Do competition vehicles racing in Canada still need leaded gasoline?
- What are the barriers to voluntary removal of leaded gasoline from the racing industry and are there any activities currently underway in this regard?
- Should the existing exemption for farm equipment, boats and trucks over 3856 kg be removed?
